Tell Us Your Story: Join the Movement

We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.

-- Lyndon Baines Johnson

Our mission at 2nd Chance NOLA is to challenge perceptions, change the stigma of ex-offenders and demonstrate the power of gainful employment in turning around lives.

​Come out of the shadows and tell us your story. We want to share your struggles and your successes because who you were is no longer who you are. You don't have to use your real name or any identifying information; we'll upload your stories of 400 words or less to a dedicated page on this website so others can better understand the fundamental challenges facing ex-offenders and their loved ones. Perhaps by telling these stories, we can change minds and open doors.

Does Your Company or Business Hire Ex-Offenders?

Does your business or corporation provide jobs to people with criminal backgrounds? Let us know and we'll feature them on this website.
